Dark cases of Unlawful Carnal Knowledge

In other news, across the country the commission of sexual offences remains rampant. Earlier this week two instances were reported in the Cayo and Stann Creek districts. Belmopan police are investigating an allegation of unlawful carnal knowledge which was reported by a teenager on Wednesday morning. According to the fourteen year old she visited her boyfriend, Carlos Carabantes, at his home in the Maya Mopan community on Saturday evening where he proceeded to engage in sexual intercourse with her against her will. A similar case, one of indecent assault, has also been reported by a resident of Bella Vista Village in the Stann Creek District. On Tuesday morning a thirty-one year old mother of two reported to police that while asleep with her daughters, ages five and three respectively, she was awoken by a knocking on the door. Upon checking she discovered her common law husband inside the girls’ bedroom where he undressed them both before performing oral sex on them. The mother also reported that her husband had also assaulted the young girls on separate occasions a month earlier.

….? What was this Mother doing while he was assaulting her helpless girls? I would have killed the Dog on the spot. She needs to be charged as well. Why didn’t she report the incident that happened a month earlier? If she had reported that incident that happened last month and left the man this one wouldn’t have happened. CHARGE BOTH OF THEM.

Too much sex offenders are in Belize. WE NEED TO REGISTER ALL SEX OFFENDERS!!!!!!!! They are walking among us and we need to know who they are so that we can protect our children.

Madas this mother stupid to the fullest. Im sorry but as a mother myself I mi wah kill that or report that the very first time this happen. Why she stay with him and allowed it to happen again. How heartless!! Her kids dont need to live with her. she should also be charged yes. Mien sometimes its embarrassing to say I dah from Belize with all this foolishness and they get away with it.

“The mother also reported that her husband had also assaulted the young girls on separate occasions a month earlier.” And until now she is reporting it to the Police??? I hate to be judgmental since I am also a mother, but she should have take action long ago and not allowed for the children to be abused again!

These crimes are increasing and our laws are too lax in dealing with these criminals. The penalties need to be increased!

I’m a male and it piss mi right off fi the hear about things like this happening in belize. We have wa latta good looking females above the legal age. I have little brothers ansd sisters and I’ll tell you this. If anything like this happen ,it no wa end up on news.The perpetrator will just go for a permanent vacation .

An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind. That lesson can be self evidenced time and time again. We do not need to punish more severely, what we need is better education in young men. We need our young men in this nation to know and understand and show love. We need to learn compassion for our mothers and our sisters and our daughters. We need to teach our young men what respect means. We need to teach our young men to appreciate what a woman is on the inside. WHAT ALL OF US IS NEEDS IS TO STAND UP FOR WHATS RIGHT. The next time you see or hear an insult or derogatory term directed at a woman because she stood up for her self respect, its your duty to back her up. And we really need our daughters to understand the difference between a dog and a man. Next time you meet a dog, throw him the dirtiest shittiest bone you can find. Next time you meet a self respecting man, congratulate him. Lead by example and this nation could be all that we wish it to be.
